... everything else is worthlesswhen compared with the infinite valueof knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.For His sake I have discarded everything else,counting it all as garbage,so that I could gain Christ.Philippians 3:8 NLT

In case you haven't seen the trend,this week's theme is COMPARISON.

​It is something that so easily falls upon me...and from what I understand,is simply the human condition.

It's where we get our competitive nature.Which can be a great thing...when we strive for gains.Like growing our company,giving better service,excelling in our education, andeven growing stronger, healthier and more fit.

But when it stunts or stops, rather than driving us,it becomes harmful to our soul.

We should want only to choose the best ofCOMPARISON.

Even spiritually,we must realize that we will never measure upto perfection.But we can let go of all that holds us back...all that drags us down, and keeps usfrom seeking to know Godin a deeper and more intimate way.

Everything we struggle to attain of this worldis, in fact, worthless when COMPAREDto what God want's to bring into our lives.

If we could simply re-define what we COMPARE.A shift of focus.A re-directed perspective.A higher priority.

No longer looking left to right,COMPARING horizontally...person to person,thing to thing.

But looking up and down,COMPARING vertically...heavenly to earthly,​eternal to finite.
